Specialist research areas
- Geophysical Flows:
-
Atmospheric flows
- large-scale flow in troposphere and stratosphere
Baroclinic flows
- role of baroclinic eddies in large-scale circulation
Geostrophic turbulence
- beta-plane turbulence - connections between dynamics and transport/mixing
Internal waves
- role in large-scale dynamics, also potentially in condensation/dehydration
Meteorology
- dynamics of climate system on timescales of weeks to decades
Mixing and dispersion
- mathematical, e.g. stochastic, models, also calculations using large-scale atmospheric data
Ocean circulation
- particularly transport of particles, transport and mixing of tracers
Quasi-geostrophic flows
- turbulence, baroclinic flows, etc
- Mixing:
-
Chaotic advection
- application of theoretical ideas to realistic atmosphere/ocean flows
Turbulent mixing
- mathematical, e.g. stochastic, models
